Obama to Sign Executive Order Monday Opening Public Funding of Embryonic Stem Cell Research http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/mar/09030611.html
By John-Henry Westen
WASHINGTON, March 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - President Barack Obama plans to rescind the Bush policy limiting federal funding for embryo destructive research on Monday. The Bush policy had allowed federal funding for experiments on already existing lines of embryos, but forbade the funds from being used to create new embryos for experimentation.
According to news reports, a signing ceremony will take place on Monday at 11 am. Details about the Executive Order are not available, but according to the Washington Post, "proponents expect Obama will simply lift the restriction without caveats and let the NIH work out the details."
Tony Perkins, President of Family Research Council commented on the news, saying, "Today's news that President Obama will open the door to direct taxpayer funds for embryonic stem cell research that encourages the destruction of human embryos is a slap in the face to Americans who believe in the dignity of all human life."
Perkins added: "I believe it is unethical to use human life, even young embryonic life, to advance science. While such research is unfortunately legal, taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for experiments that require the destruction of human life."
The Family Research Council leader pointed out that "Obama's policy change is especially troubling given the significant adult stem cell advances that are being used to treat patients now without harming or destroying human embryos."
He concluded, "Despite the significant advances using adult stem cells to treat patients, and new techniques to create stem cells from any patient, President Obama will choose to direct taxpayer's money to experiments that represent the poorest stem cell science.
Just this week ten pro-life Members of Congress spoke on stem cell research during a Special Order organized by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ). Smith and the other pro-life Congressman observed that embryonic stem-cell research is not only unethical, but unnecessary, given the superior results achieved through adult stem cell research.
"Human embryo-destroying stem cell research is not only unethical, unworkable and unreliable, it is now demonstrably unnecessary," said Smith. "Adult stem cells ... are truly remarkable. They work, they have no ethical baggage, and advances are made every day at a dizzying pace.
But despite so much progress in the adult stem cell field, "the Obama administration and the House and Senate Democratic leadership remain obsessed with killing human embryos for experimentation at taxpayer expense," said Smith.

Here we are - the Brave New World is upon us.
Bush compromised and the slippery slope has become even more treacherous.
I echo others — God forgive us.
My point was that liberals expect it all to happen next week.
We’re All California Now
I feel sick.
The hypocracy of it, though. The Obamessiah was blathering about reversin all of Bush’s executive orders, yet that is the only way he can govern. When did we become a nation of such spineless sheep? (shakes head)
Hell, I’m waiting for Obama to issue a presidential order rescinding term limits and those pesky things like elections for presidents.
I can not see him or his Brownshirt administration leaving the white house under any circumstance; lose by election, judicial edict etc. It may be said I’m wearing tin foil but I see Obama as nothing but a full blown dictator who’s now tasted real power and will not give it up unless the countries destroyed completely or he is.
Just know that whatever executive orders Barack makes, can all be reversed with the stroke of a pen.
When it comes to be 100 days into the Obama administration, we will see how many legislative bills Barack has approved, how many passed Congress and were vetoed by President Obama, and how many were pushed through under “executive order”. We should also count up those executive orders to determine how many are new powers for government and how many are simply reversing an executive order from President Bush (or any other President).
Hollywood and the MSM are still unwilling to call Hugo Chavez a communist dictator.
I hope Hussein OBAMA bin laden (the devil) fails.
Idi Amin Hussein Obama
Thats a good one. I hope Idi Amin Dada Hussein Obama and his wife with her lean arms don't start cannibalizing the unborn babies instead of the $100 a pound Steak.
More reason to join in on the TEA Parties.
Next week, he’s going to reverse the policy of not conducting medical experiments on Jews.
My husband has Parkinson’s, and we have discussed the use of embryonic stems cells.
He has decided that he will refuse any treatment that might come from a murdered embryo. I support his decision.
Think of all of the livesaving research on hypothermia and twins that has been stalled by dogmatic politicisation of vital Nazi-era research!
If I am not mistaken there never was federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.
The msm would have us believe that President Bush was the only president to never fund this research.
He was the only president who allowed federal funding of a particular number of ‘lines’
It would seem that O is talking out of both sides of his mouth as usual.
